Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons oil
-
3 garlic cloves, chopped
-
1 cup onion, chopped
-
1/2 lb smoked kielbasa, diced (see *note at bottom)
-
1 small head of cabbage, chopped small
-
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
-
6 small new potatoes, quartered
-
1 large yellow squash, sliced
-
1/2 cup catsup, good quality
-
8 cups beef broth (I use Campbells double rich or double strength in a pinch)
-
salt, to taste
-
pepper, to taste
-
red wine (a nice splash)
Instructions
- Sauté onions in oil until transparent.
- Add diced kielbasa and brown lightly.
- Push mixture to the side of the skillet and add garlic in the space you made and sauté for thirty seconds.
- Remove all of this and place in a soup pot with the remaining ingredients. (including any blackened bits that occurred!).
- Bring soup to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- *Note: They smoked their own Kielbasa with a smoker. Next time you are grilling, throw an extra Kielbasa link on the BBQ. It adds a really nice touch to the dish).
